Build a wheelchair ramp for Ricardo in Kingston
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Kingston.
🇯🇲 Kingston, Jamaica775 views
Ricardo has used a wheelchair since 2025, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Ricardo can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair.
The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two.
The ramp has to meet the local accessibility standard of 1:12 slope, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Ricardo's family will cook lunch for the team.
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Kanpur
Best of luck. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Toulon donated after I showed her your page.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Wishing Ricardo a smooth procedure and a full recovery
hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Stay strong, Junior. Your post was clear and honest. Take care!
